Scottsdale, AZ - March 1, 2004 - Evans Newton Incorporated (ENI), a leading provider of school-reform solutions since 1973, and SMARTHINKING, the leading provider of live, online, just-in-time tutoring for high schools, colleges, and universities, today announced an arrangement for ENI to represent SMARTHINKING to K-12 schools nationwide. Under the agreement, ENI's sales force will offer SMARTHINKING's diverse online programs to ENI's extensive customer base, while expanding the offering to all schools nationwide

In announcing the agreement, Burck Smith, CEO and Co-founder of SMARTHINKING, stated, "We are thrilled to have ENI representing us to their customers and other schools throughout the country. Their experience at assisting schools combined with our cutting-edge instructional approach makes for a great combination. For many of ENI's traditional customers, our online tutoring extends the resources they focus on student achievement, but it also goes beyond to assist students needing help in advanced classes."

Don Davidson, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at ENI, observed, "ENI has a rich history of providing proven solutions for raising student achievement. It makes perfect sense to offer SMARTHINKING's proven tutorial services to our customers and prospects. These services complement our solutions wonderfully. Where our products and services greatly increase the efficiency and effectiveness of school-day instruction, SMARTHINKING allows educators to extend the school day, providing real-time assistance to students on the skills they need most. SMARTHINKING's offerings in AP also support our expansion to new programs in the schools."

SMARTHINKING's online offerings include 24/7 drop-in tutoring for math; extensive after-school and weekend tutoring hours for writing, core AP subjects, bilingual math, and ESL writing; exit-exam tutoring; and supplemental education services. In addition, SMARTHINKING offers writing critiques with 24-hour turnaround to help students polish their work. ENI's flagship offering, TargetTeach, helps schools align instruction to standards and monitor student progress with benchmark assessments that mirror each school's high-stakes tests.
